laugh

I used to laugh teary eyed

with my mouth opened wide

But now I laugh typing away

on the H and the A

being obsessive

sometimes i think 

being obsessively obsessive

with anything – a word, or a number,

or whatever, is what makes 
the dorkiest dorks way cooler
 than the coolest cucumber.

story writer

all day i have to make up stories
about kings and dragons and fires
and that kind of worries me a bit
because it makes me a very good liar

question

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

If i write stuff in my blog but no one ever reads it, does it make the same effect in this world as typing random letters like shjklcnsury  hjsacb caghflaa dgas ashjdleieyurt hbjashd ?

magic finger

i slice a sliver off my finger,
and with no skin to keep it in
blood spurts out the toothless grin.
but then a bit later, skin,
oh so thin, starts closing in,
over the bit, that's wobbly and pink.
it stitches itself back together.
now how magical is that!

negotiating

negotiating involves
excruciating persuading,
trading,
lying,
complying,
pleading,
mind reading,
and timing -
but unfortunately, no rhyming.

alien poem

What happens when you're sad?
the man asks the alien.
We clap our hands, comes the reply.
That's weird, says the man - we cry.
Silence, and then the alien replies:
Don't you think it's weird
to have water come out of your eyes?
